The terminal speed difference on the straight was allegedly 1km/h different. So it is reasonable to assume there is something to be gained from drafting even a slow Lotus but....

Did HK brake 30m early?

Thats what I was thinking. Looked like HK broke early, or at least much earlier than Webber had intended to and thats what caught him out. Not an unreasonable assumption given the 4-5 seconds/lap speed difference.

Still I think Webber could've been more cautious in his attempted overtake. He probably assumed HK would just move over and let him through but was mistaken as they were actually 'racing for position' at the time

Still, cool flip. Had my heart pumping just watching it. Glad he was ok, would've hated to see Webber injured and out for an extended period in his best year to date

Let's recap, webber is coming up on a car that is 3-4 seconds a lap slower. this car is not as fast, doesn't corner as well and probably doesn't brake as well. it's also on the dirty line.

is webber anything other than a retard for expecting kova to brake super late? and go sailing through the corner with a fistful of understeer? last time pizzonia did that in a jaguar it didn't end well. come on mark you've been around a while, the dirty line doesn't give you good braking traction so you have to brake earlier. mark disengages his brain when he gets behind the wheel, he makes his own luck and it's no surprise that he's been in some dramatic crashes. i'm all for patriotism but the guy does ask for it.

I think Mark was to blame but come on Kinks. Lets not be too critical . It was an accident that should not have happened for any number of reasons. Fact remains Webber didnt give himself enough room, Heikki like a bit of an ass clown was driving on the inside of the line and then started to move and seemingly rolled off the throttle just as Webber was getting ready to dart back right. The speed differential was the cause for the accident, but Webber was 2 seconds quicker then Hul and couldnt get past so pitted early.

He needed to nail every pass and heiiki wandering around in a straight line and then coming up to 'His' braking area meant that Webber was off with the fairies when he should have been well right. But, thats racing. What makes me wonder is i need to see more in car. Was Webber F-Ducting away and is this just another thing that distracts a driver from racing?!?!?!?!?

he might have been reaching for the F-uct as he took off as he knew he was fuct by that point...

good little write up by mark webber on page 64 of today's daily smellograph.

he makes a few points. one is that this is his first retirement of the season so far. not bad. also, until this accident he had finished every race in the points and is equal with the other 3 guys who have all won 2 races a piece. he is stringing together a pretty solid season no matter what and seems pretty bright about his prospects at silverstone.

Formula1.com interview with MW

Q: Name five things that you hate?

MW: People that lie, people that drive under the speed limit, people that snore loads on planes and people that are unreliable . That’s about it. I am not big hater.

A: Possible answers anyway

Sebastian Vettel??

Heiki Kovalainnen??

Helmut Marko or Christian Horner??

Frank Williams (or at least his cars)??

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
